LANC Construction installs wood, vinyl, and chain-link fencing for Connecticut homeowners and businesses — defining property lines, adding privacy, and improving curb appeal. Licensed, insured, and backed by 20 years of exterior work across CT. Free estimates.
When Connecticut homeowners and property owners contact LANC Construction about fencing, they get a licensed crew that assesses the property line, evaluates the site conditions, and installs a fence system that serves the homeowner's purpose — whether that is privacy, security, pet containment, or property definition — and holds up through Connecticut's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and storm exposure. We have been installing fencing across Connecticut for over 20 years, and every fence project we complete is licensed, insured, and built to last in this climate.
When we install a fence on a Connecticut property, we begin by locating the property lines and identifying any underground utilities in the installation zone — because posts driven into utility lines create dangerous and costly problems that take longer to fix than the fence took to install. We mark all post locations, confirm spacing and panel alignment before any holes are dug, and review the layout with the homeowner to confirm the fence line is where they expect it to be. We do not start digging until the plan is confirmed and the utilities are cleared.
We install fence posts in Connecticut using concrete-set methods appropriate for each fence type and soil condition. Post depth is critical in Connecticut — the frost line in most of the state extends 48 inches below grade, and posts that are not set below that depth will heave as the ground freezes and thaws, pushing posts up and out of alignment over one or two winters. We set posts at the correct depth for Connecticut's frost conditions, use the correct concrete volume around each post, and allow proper curing time before attaching panels or boards. Posts installed correctly do not heave.
Every fence installation LANC Construction completes is finished with a full walkthrough of the installed fence line. We check post alignment, panel spacing, gate operation, latch engagement, and the condition of all post caps and hardware before we consider the job done. Gates are hung level and adjusted so they swing freely and latch without lifting. If the homeowner identifies any concern during the walkthrough, we address it before we pack up. We do not leave a fence that is out of alignment or has hardware that does not function correctly — the walkthrough is part of the installation, not an afterthought.
When a Connecticut homeowner calls us about a fence that has heaved posts, leaning sections, broken boards, damaged gates, or sections that have been knocked down by storm damage, we assess the full fence line before recommending any specific repair. A leaning post that appears to be an isolated problem is often a sign that adjacent posts are also compromised — setting just the visible post without checking the neighbors means the fence will lean again within a season. We find the actual scope of the problem before we recommend or price any repair.
We repair fences across Connecticut by resetting heaved or leaning posts, replacing broken or rotted boards and rails, repairing or replacing damaged gates and hardware, and restoring sections that have been damaged by fallen trees, vehicle impact, or storm events. When a wood fence has sections where rot has progressed beyond what targeted board replacement can address, we assess whether partial or full replacement is the more economical solution and give the homeowner an honest recommendation. We do not repair a fence for the sake of billing the repair when replacement is the right answer.
For full fence replacements, we remove the existing fence and posts, assess any soil conditions that contributed to the original failure, and install the new fence with corrected post depth and spacing from the start. A fence that failed because posts were too shallow will fail again if the replacement is installed the same way. We identify and correct the root cause, not just the visible result. Every replacement we install is treated as a new installation — same process, same walkthrough, same standard of post depth, alignment, and gate operation before the job is closed.
Connecticut's 48-inch frost line is the most important factor in fence installation quality in this state. A post set at 24 or 30 inches — which is adequate in warmer climates — will heave in Connecticut within one or two winters as the freezing ground pushes it upward. Over multiple freeze-thaw cycles, heaved posts pull neighboring posts with them, distort panel alignment, and eventually make gates inoperable. LANC Construction sets every post below the Connecticut frost line, every time. It adds time and material to the installation, and it is the difference between a fence that lasts a decade and one that needs reset after the first winter.
Wood fences in Connecticut are exposed to moisture, freeze-thaw stress, UV degradation, and insect activity that together shorten the lifespan of untreated or improperly installed wood significantly. We install wood fences using materials appropriate for exterior exposure in Connecticut — properly dried and treated lumber for all ground-contact and near-ground components — and with construction details that minimize moisture retention in joints and end-grain exposure. We do not use interior-grade lumber on exterior fence installations, and we do not leave end-grain cuts unsealed where they contact soil or collect standing water after rain.
Choosing a licensed and insured fence contractor in Connecticut protects the homeowner from risks that go beyond post depth and wood quality. In Connecticut, fence installation near property lines, easements, and public rights-of-way may be subject to local zoning requirements and setback rules. LANC Construction reviews applicable requirements before installation begins and advises homeowners on any permit or variance that may be needed. We carry full general liability insurance on every fence project, so if the fence damages a neighboring property or injury occurs during installation, the homeowner is not exposed to liability for work they hired a licensed contractor to perform.

We set every post below Connecticut's 48-inch frost line — the single most important factor in whether a fence stays in place through New England winters.

We install wood, vinyl, and chain-link fencing on Connecticut residential and commercial properties. We also install split-rail, aluminum, and ornamental fence styles on request. Every installation includes post setting below Connecticut's frost line, concrete footings, and a full walkthrough before project close.
Fence installation cost depends on the fence type, linear footage, number of gates, and site conditions. Wood fencing costs less than vinyl per linear foot; chain-link is typically the most economical option. We provide a free, written estimate with full itemization before any work begins.
Permit requirements for fences vary by Connecticut municipality and are often dependent on fence height and proximity to property lines and public rights-of-way. We determine permit requirements for each project before installation begins and advise homeowners on any required applications or variances.
We set fence posts below Connecticut's frost line, which extends 48 inches below grade in most of the state. Posts set shallower than the frost line will heave as the ground freezes and thaws, pushing them out of alignment within one or two winters. Post depth is the most critical factor in long-term fence stability.
Most residential fence installations in Connecticut are completed in one to three days depending on linear footage, fence type, and site conditions. We confirm the timeline during the estimate and communicate any weather-related delays before they affect the schedule.
